I've been refining an argument — ethics isn't a human invention. It's what a finite universe with conscious agents structurally requires

False. Consent is the why. We are in nature—nothing happens outside nature. YOU claimed there is no why. That claim self-destructs.

That^ needs to be read alongside my comments that follow it in that thread. Mutual entailment does not preclude subsumption, and synthesis does not (cannot) imply collapse when it comes to triadic mutual entailment.

A consent-violating boundary is no boundary at all—we are obligated to violate it.
